The double hundred Fowler hit in the Madras Test was an absolute beauty.

The doubt of an earnest, thoughtful, patient and laborious mind is worthy of respect. In such doubt may be found indeed more faith than in half the creeds.
‐‐ John Lancaster Spalding
The doughy-faced woman has been forced to sit on the sidelines of culture for too long, and it's now time for us to stand up with our big round faces like the moon and say we have things to say, too. We have a round-faced agenda we want to push.

The dove act? I'm still working on it. I don't think it's perfect yet. I got my first pair of doves when I was 14 years old. That was the beginning of the formation of that act. So it's been 24 years now that I've been working on it.

The Dove, on silver pinions, winged her peaceful way.

'The Dovekeepers' is a fantastic novel written by Alice Hoffman; it was a bestselling novel, and I fell in love with the book and bought the rights to it.

The down market favours the small two-, three-, four-person company, not the huge company with 100 people losing half a million dollars a month.
‐‐ Jason Calacanis
The down side of Americans being obsessed with pop culture is that they kind of like it light.
‐‐ Bill Griffith
The down-side of these huge-budget movies is that so many people have a hand in them, sometimes they come out a little more vanilla.
‐‐ Casey Wilson
The downfall of the church will not come from a lack of apologetic teaching; it will come from disintegration of the families in the church.
‐‐ Josh McDowell
The downfall of the industry seems to actually be good for art. I think the industry will find their way once the focus shifts from its greed-based origins, downsizes, and begins to support creative visions that speak to our times and shifting ideals.
‐‐ Saul Williams
The downright fanatic is nearer to the heart of things than the cool and slippery disputant.
‐‐ Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The downside isn't really injury, fear of injury or the process of fighting back from injury. The downside, the very worst thing in the world, is surgery.
‐‐ Greg Rusedski
The downside of being a celebrity is that people kind of know about you, and you really don't need them to know about you - you need them to know about your work.
‐‐ Jason Alexander
The downside of videos is that it will put my vision in front of other people, so they might not get the chance to create their own.
‐‐ Carole King
The downside to becoming a doctor, I think, is it's a very long process; four years of medical school, three years of internship, two years of residency, umpteen years of specialization, and then finally you get to be what you have trained almost all your life for.
‐‐ Jim Lee
The downside to making movies at a gallop like we did with 'Wish You Were Here' is that we're shooting four or five scenes in a day, and it's very exhilarating, but you worry at the end of the day that you missed some details because you were moving too quick, and you just gotta trust and be ready straightaway.

The downtrodden are the great creators of slang.

The downturn following the collapse of Japan's so-called bubble economy of the 1980s was not as severe as the Great Depression.
‐‐ Ben Bernanke
The 'Downward Spiral' album was a record all about beating everybody up - and then 'Hurt' was like a coda saying maybe I shouldn't have done that. But to make the song sound impenetrable because I thought it was a little too vulnerable, I tried to layer it in noise.
‐‐ Trent Reznor
The Dr. King holiday is not just for black people, African-Americans or people of African descent.
‐‐ LZ Granderson
The draconian prohibitions of the Taliban years and the gains Afghan women have achieved since the Taliban government was overthrown in 2001 are now well known and often cited: Today, Afghans lucky enough to live in secure regions can go to school, women may work in offices, and the burqa is no longer mandatory.

The draft is a crapshoot, so I've been very fortunate to be drafted by the Yankees, and to have spent my whole career here.
‐‐ Derek Jeter
The draft is one of my favorite events because it is about football. People are focused on how their teams improve. It's a celebration of football. And most importantly, it represents a very important time in the lives of these men who are entering the NFL, and their families.
‐‐ Roger Goodell
The draft is white people sending black people to fight yellow people to protect the country they stole from red people.
‐‐ James Rado
The drafters of the Constitution... wisely put restraints on the president.
‐‐ Terry Sanford
The drafts which true genius draws upon posterity, although they may not always be honored so soon as they are due, are sure to be paid with compound interest in the end.
‐‐ Charles Caleb Colton
The dragonfly is an exceptionally beautiful insect and a fierce carnivore. It has four wings that beat independently. This gives it an ability to maneuver in the air with superb dexterity. A dragonfly can put on a burst of speed, stop on a dime, hover, fly backward, and switch direction in a flash. This is a hunting behavior known as hawking.

The drama and the trauma of the relationship you have when you're 16 can mirror the one you have when you're 26. Life repeats itself.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
The drama is a great revealer of life.
‐‐ George Pierce Baker
The drama is complete poetry. The ode and the epic contain it only in germ; it contains both of them in a state of high development, and epitomizes both.
‐‐ Victor Hugo
The drama may be called that part of theatrical art which lends itself most readily to intellectual discussion: what is left is theater.
‐‐ Robertson Davies
The drama nerd comes out in me when I'm in a theater.
‐‐ Philip Seymour Hoffman
The drama of life begins with a wail and ends with a sigh.
‐‐ Minna Antrim
The drama teacher that I had in high school, back in Texas, was the only teacher who didn't kick me out of his class. He turned me on to 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.' I had picked up Dylan with 'Bringing It All Back Home,' and he turned me on to the first couple of albums, which I hadn't heard.
‐‐ Steve Earle
The dramatic modernization of the Asian economies ranks alongside the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution as one of the most important developments in economic history.
‐‐ Lawrence Summers
The dramatic rise of Turkey in the councils of world power was one of the main geopolitical developments of 2010.
‐‐ Stephen Kinzer
The dramatic wish of Romanians at the end of the Second World War was to be occupied by the Americans and not by the Russians.
‐‐ Traian Basescu
The drawing and the crafting of the story are fun, but it's the overall meaning that matters to me. It might escape some people who just want to read a comic, and that's fine. The overall meaning is what matters.
‐‐ Brian Michael Bendis
The drawing is already partly there - it's in the paper. And the paper is talking before you do.
‐‐ Richard Artschwager
The drawing of a 'Pipeline Wave' started with Billabong as a commission for their 2009 Pipeline Masters campaign. My 'Pipeline Wave' drawing later became the start of my 'Waterworks Collection' for gallery prints.
‐‐ John Van Hamersveld
The drawing teacher has this problem of communicating how to draw by osmosis and not by instruction, while the physics teacher has the problem of always teaching techniques, rather than the spirit, of how to go about solving physical problems.
‐‐ Richard P. Feynman
The drawings in 'Portal' were actually me scribbling that stuff... I had a funny moment when I realized that someone gotten 'The cake is a lie' tattooed on themselves. It was really interesting to see my handwriting tattooed on another human being. That... that's odd.
‐‐ Kim Swift
The dread of evil is a much more forcible principle of human actions than the prospect of good.
‐‐ John Locke
The dread of lonliness is greater than the fear of bondage, so we get married.
‐‐ Cyril Connolly
The dreaded phrase in design circles is 'show and tell.'
‐‐ David Carson
The dreadful burden of having nothing to do.
‐‐ Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux
The dreadful terrorism perpetrated by Palestinian terrorist organizations has affected thousands of Israeli citizens, has destroyed families, and has tried to disrupt the lives of the citizens of Israel.
‐‐ Ehud Olmert
The dreadful thing about getting older is you cry at the drop of a hat.
